Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Improves Ovarian Function in Old Mice
Fecal microbiota transplantation from a young individual to an old individual has been shown in animal studies to reset the aging gut microbiome to a more youthful configuration for a lasting period of time. The gut microbiome changes in detrimental ways with age, harmful and inflammatory populations displacing beneficial populations that produce needed metabolites. A fecal microbiota transplant removes these changes, improving health, reducing inflammation, and extending life span in short-lived species. It is a procedure already used in humans, and which should be further developed as a means to improve the health of all...

What Is Best After Tubal Ligation: Untying Tubes or IVF?
Untying your tubes is often the best treatment after tubal ligation because you can try every month and have more than one child. It is also cheaper.

A physician ’s infertility story [PODCAST]

Gene Variants are Just Not Important Enough to be Interesting in the Matter of Human Life Span
Genetic differences are definitively the cause of differences in life span between species, self-evidently so. But within our own species, a few decades of earnest investigation has failed to turn up much evidence for genetic variants to be all that important in determining natural variation in human life span. If anything, the development of large genetic databases, such as the UK Biobank, has led to a reduction in the estimated contribution of genetic variation to life span variation. Near all associations between gene variants and longevity have tiny effect sizes, and also fail to replicate in other study populations, s...

Microdevice Assists with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injections
Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia created a microdevice that helps embryologists perform intracytoplasmic sperm injections. The procedure involves injecting a single sperm cell into an egg to initiate fertilization, and it is a key component of fertility procedures such as in vitro fertilization. Typically, this procedure is performed by skilled and experienced embryologists, and it is fiddly and slow. This new device cradles up to ten eggs and holds them in position during the injection, making is easier and allowing for more reproducible results.
For couples facing fertility issues, in vitro fertil...

Naked Mole-Rat Skin Shows Fewer Signs of Aging

Naked mole-rats exhibit a maximum life span that is many times longer than is the case for similarly sized mammals. Further, they are negligibly senescent, showing few age-related declines in function across much of that lengthy life span. That includes maintenance of stem ...

Hallucinations are surprisingly common and varied experiences
By Emma Young
Many mentally well people experience hallucinations. An estimated 6 – 15% of us hear, see, feel or even smell things that aren’t real. But there has been little research into what those hallucinations are like — and how they might differ from those experienced by people with psychosis. Now Mascha M.J. Linszen at Utrecht University and her colleagues report the results of a large study of more than 10,000 people aged 14 to 88. The work, published in Schizophrenia, throws up a few surprises among a host of interesting findings.
The team’s online survey was open to anyone aged over 14 who ...

Naked Mole-Rat Skin Shows Fewer Signs of Aging
Naked mole-rats exhibit a maximum life span that is many times longer than is the case for similarly sized mammals. Further, they are negligibly senescent, showing few age-related declines in function across much of that lengthy life span. That includes maintenance of stem cell populations and regenerative capacity, as well as a near immunity to cancer. Accordingly, the research community is very interested in uncovering the genetic and biochemical differences that allow naked mole-rats to achieve these desirable outcomes.
In today's open access paper, the authors report on their investigation of the biochemistry a...

Impact of Covid-19 on fertility treatment 2020
This report looks at changes in UK fertility treatment during the Covid-19 pandemic, including treatment numbers, funding, and donation. The report reveals that NHS-funded IVF treatments fell by seven per cent across the UK (35 per cent, 2019 to 28 per cent, 2020), with almost 26,000 patients over 35 receiving IVF treatments; a group prioritised by clinics as the chance of having a baby following fertility treatment decreases with age. The HFEA say this latest data confirms that fewer patients experienced delays during the pandemic than initially feared. This actually shows, a very small drop in treatments given the far-re...

Virtual Clinical Trials: Interview with Ivan Jarry, CEO at ObvioHealth
Decentralized and virtual clinical trials are gaining prominence, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic which made it difficult for trial participants to attend in-person appointments. However, conducting clinical trials remotely has a host of potential benefits beyond reducing COVID-19 transmission, including improved patient compliance, real-world data, real-time data, and reduced costs.
ObvioHealth is championing this approach to clinical trials, and through a partnership with Renovia, completed the first fully virtual clinical trial in urogynecology, which investigated the leva Pelvic Health System. The leva devi...
